CD-hey progress , just go post it in my glass thread ! I'm curious to see what you think !!!
Will do (let me gather my thoughts and I'll edit this post to add my ideas
)
Edit: Here we go...
OK, CD
The following are ideas on how you could alter the performance of your Extreme:
MULTIPLE WHIP ADAPTER- This first one is so simple
. It is just a glass piece the size of the glass E mouthpiece (the one without the bumps), however, it splits into two (like a T is probably easier to make, but like a Y works better
). You would attach this piece to two pieces of tubing that are as long as your E whip and one small piece of tubing to attach the third part of the splitter to your glass elbow. That way you could have two whips from the same vape
(great for separate water tools?no need to put thumb on mouthpiece with water in them
). When the splitter is not in use small erasers fit in the mouthpiece of the splitter nicely. If preferred, a rake could even be made for more than two people (as people arrive, remove an eraser from a tube and pass it to them to attach to their piece)
LARGE CYCLONE BOWL- If interested in having a LARGE chamber that hardly needs to be refilled (should fit 6-7x what the Cyclone does
), the best design so far seems to be GonG on top and bottom (like the E) with an egg shaped chamber in the middle (the egg looks like it is a real egg, skinny side down, so the herbs fall down the wall/pressure dissipates as the egg widens towards the top/etc. This takes significantly longer to heat up than the Cyclone
, but basically will go all day or satiate a large group
(and used in conjunction with the next piece provides draws that compete with the DeVerdamper in size and speed of delivery
).
THICK TUBING/LESS DRAG (ELBOW)-This next accessory is an elbow that fits ? ID tubing instead of the standard ? ID tubing of the E (larger draw
). This works with the cyclone full to the black, but best with the egg full. So, far the best set-up seems to be a round ball instead of the test-tube that is attached to the male GonG in the E?s elbow with a ? OD tube that has a small lip at the end sticking off of the ball)
VAPORIZING OILS (GLASS BEADS)- Post #841 in the Extreme thread talks about using tiny glass beads in the Cyclone chamber for oils (works well for large/thick session?tip if using a lot of oil do not let it sit/keep drawing so it bubbles up through the beads and doesn?t drip
). Some, instead, fold a tiny piece of oven bag over an ?oil dipstick? (paperclip?) to smear oil inside of the folded piece of the oven bag, which gets dropped into the Cyclone chamber. They then wait for it he radiant heat of the chamber to make the piece of oven bag unfold. Once it does they draw until the oil is gone and the piece of oven bag just flutters around the chamber (works well for small/thin session)
SMALL CYCLONE BOWL (GLASS INSERT)-The last idea works well in conjunction with the beads idea (above this one). If you made a glass piece that looks like a stack of washers (the flat metal discs with the holes in the middle) stuck together to insert into the Cyclone bowl. This allows you to use the beads idea for smaller amounts of oils or to use PD sized amounts of herbs (without beads, of course
). This piece works best when the hole in this insert lines up with the hole in the bottom of the cyclone and gets slightly wider towards the top (allow slightly longer warm time
)
TUBING CLEANING TIP (GLASS BEAD) - Oh yeah, if you use one of the softer, whitish tubings with better temperature ratings (silicone, Tygon, etc.) you can push a marble of glass slightly larger than the tubing through the pre-warmed tubing. It will fall out of the other end (into the Cyclone on a bed of herbs/beads?) with all of the oily residue that had collected in the tube in front of it (leaving the tube fairly clean
).
Hope this helps inspire you to make yourself some new pieces or inspire the development of even better ideas.
Sorry this post ended up being so long (let me know if you have any questions)
need it to work with my roor steam roller and VHW setup
I'll try to read back , if you have some drawing skill I'll gladly accept drawing
